Bob - made some progress. Reverted to a KAT configuration from last year.
It allows me to switch KAT to Ant 3 (160M). Additionally am use the KAT to
tune on  40M and KPA is switching  to 40. So last issue is to get  the KAT
and the KPA working on 160.  So am going to do some trouble shooting on the
Antenna itself and the feed line.
